[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a facsimile device that transmits documents and the like to a remote location through a communication line.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Document communication by facsimile has become increasingly popular in a wide range of business fields as offices have become more automated in recent years. Facsimile communication usually connects transmitting and receiving devices between users with a communication line, and the transmitting side scans the original and transmits the image data as an electrical signal, and the receiving side receives it and records it on recording paper to reproduce it as a document. . Normally, only one copy of a document is recorded, but there is a need for a facsimile machine that can record a plurality of required copies according to specifications.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional facsimile machines record and output only one copy of received documents, figures, etc. Therefore, when multiple copies of a manuscript were required, only the required number of copies were made using a copying machine. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, according to the conventional method, when multiple copies of a manuscript are required, the required number of copies are made separately using a copying machine, which takes time and manpower. There was a point.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a facsimile device that can automatically record and output a required number of documents.

[Means to solve the problem]

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the principle of the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is an image data memory for storing received image data, 3 is a storage means in which the required number of recording copies is registered in correspondence with the identification number, and 5 is a storage means when receiving identification number information from the calling station. 3
means for searching the number of recorded copies corresponding to the identification number that matches the calling station identification number from 6;

Therefore, the document transmitted from the station whose identification number is registered in the storage means 3 is configured to be recorded and output in the number of registered recording copies.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, the image data memory 1 stores the received image data, and when the retrieval means 5 receives the identification number information from the calling station, the retrieval means 5 retrieves the identification number from the storage stage 3 that matches the calling station identification number. The corresponding number of recorded copies is searched, and the control means 6 controls the recording section 2 based on the number of recorded copies outputted from the search stage 5, so that the manuscript from the station whose identification number is registered in the storage means 3 is registered in advance. It becomes possible to record and output the number of recorded copies set.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The same reference numerals indicate the same objects throughout the figures.

Components in FIG. 2 that correspond to those in FIG. 1 are surrounded by dashed lines.

FIG. 2 is a professional diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention,
For ease of explanation, only structural elements related to the present invention are shown.

The main control section 10 has a micro processor and a main memory (not shown), and executes a control program stored in the main memory to control each section and perform the functions of a facsimile apparatus according to the present invention. .

The operation unit 13 performs sending/receiving operations, inputting a destination identification number, etc. using keys and buttons (not shown), and also inputs an identification number and the number of recording copies to be registered in a table 3a to be described later.

The line control unit l1 controls the connection of the exchange line according to the line interface and protocol, sends and receives command signals to and from the sending facsimile machine ff (FAX), controls the communication procedure, and controls the image data of the transmitted document. receive.

The restoring unit 12 restores the compressed image data received by the line control unit 1l into an image and stores it in the image data memory 1a.

The recording unit 2a reads image data stored in the image data memory 1a and records and outputs the image data.

Table 3a shows the identification number of the sending facsimile machine;
and the required number of copies to record the received manuscript.

The registration unit 4a registers the identification number and the number of recording copies inputted from the operation unit 13 by writing them in the table 3a.

When the line control unit 11 receives the sending side identification number (for example, in the case of a group ■ facsimile machine, using the sending terminal identification signal TSI, which is a control signal of CCITT Recommendation T.30), the searching unit 5a detects the sending side identification number. Identification number in table 3
a, and if it is registered, its recorded number of copies n (
=1.2...), and if it is not registered, the number of recorded copies is 1. That is, the search unit 5a includes a microprocessor, a control program for operating the microprocessor, and 2
The transmission side identification number received under the control of the microprocessor was stored in one register, and the identification numbers on Table 3a were sequentially stored in the other register, and compared by the comparator. If they match, the corresponding number of copies at that time is output.

The recording control unit 6a activates the recording operation of the recording unit 2a the number of times that 1 is subtracted from the number of recording copies (n or 1) output from the search unit 5a.

Therefore, the image data of the original received from the line control section 11 is restored by the restoration section 12, and the image data in the image data memory 1
a, and the recording unit 2a records and outputs only the I copy of the document. The search unit 5a searches the table 3a based on the sender identification number received by the line control unit 1l in the process of controlling the communication procedure, and outputs the required number of recording copies. The recording control section 6a is configured to control the recording section 2a based on the number of copies to be recorded so as to record and output the necessary number of copies.

Further, the table 3a can also use a memory included in a facsimile machine having a one-touch dial or speed dial function.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, by registering the identification number and the number of copies to be recorded in the storage means in advance, the required number of copies of the original is automatically recorded and output. There is no need to add and copy only the required number of copies, and this has the effect of streamlining administrative processing by saving human labor and time.
